Hello, I'm a 33 year old married male diagnosed 4 months back with a benign primary cardiac tumor. The tumor is located on the anterior side (RV free wall) of the heart in the right ventricle and smoothly indenting the RVOT. It was an incidental diagnosis when I was being treated for some muscle pains because of vitamin D deficiency. Not to mention I was quite shocked when I first came to know. The tumor is quite big measuring 2.7x2.5 cm.
I took vitamin medication last 4 months, my muscle problems were relieved and I'm completely asymptotic currently. All kinds of imaging tests/scans, ECHO, CT, MRI and PET were performed when I was first diagnosed which proved the tumor to be benign. My 24 hour holter monitor were as good as a healthy person with mild isolated VPC (100 for 24 hours). After that every month I'm on a regular ECG/echo follow up.
Though the tumor is quite big my cardiologist is treating me conservatively as I'm as good as any healthy person, bar some mild psychological depression last few months.
My question for fellow medhelpers is, my tumor apparently is not growing almost nothing in 4 months, none of us is sure if it's congenital, so should I go for surgery on priority as mentioned in literature for any kind of cardiac tumors? or should I conservatively approach it? I also want to hear any such experiences, as from what I have researched in past few months cardiac tumors are very rare and Right ventricular benign tumors are extremely rare, so I feel quite lonely as I couldn't find much on internet or in literature about the condition I have.
Any inputs and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all!
